Lights Out is an American old-time radio program devoted mostly to horror and the supernatural.
Created by Wyllis Cooper and then eventually taken over by Arch Oboler, versions of Lights Out aired on different networks, at various times, from January 3, 1934 to the summer of 1947 and the series eventually made the transition to television. Lights Out was one of the earliest radio horror programs, predating Suspense and Inner Sanctum.
This show is incorrectly circulating as Lights Out =The Rocket Ship.,It could not have aired on July 28th, 1945 as it mentions Hiroshima and Nagasaki which hadn't yet happened. Arch Oboler's Plays- Rocket from Manhattan is the correct label, airdate Sept. 20th,1945. This has a Lights Out opening spliced onto it, but is not a Lights Out program.
